They Need Water

This year our school club wants to provide water via solar powered deep (tube) wells to poor former refugees in Mannar / Puttalam in Sri Lanka who have been displaced due to the now concluded 30 year long Civil war with the LTTE.

These people are extremely poor and in addition to the many issues they face, they also face severe hardships in obtaining water, with the situation worsening during the dry season.

Each well can supply water to approximately 20 homes. The estimated cost for a well is $4,173 (that's around $200 per family). There are an excess of 100 extremely poor families in the area. The project will be expanded to provide water for more homes depending on the funds raised.

We would greatly appreciate your kind generosity in helping to provide water to this poverty stricken community. The number of families who we can help depends greatly on you.

Please share and spread the word about our campaign!

*Unfortunately, money can not be sent via paypal to Sri Lanka as it is not supported in this country. We would greatly appreciate if you could donate through other means provided by Indiegogo.

Thank you very much.
